Click on marker to open plot / data table - shiny

Question

I'm working on leaflet with shiny. The tools is basic, i have a map with some markers (coming from a table with LONG and LAT).
What I want to do is to open a table or a graph when i click on the marker.
Is there a simple way to do it?
Do you have a really simple example: you have a maker on a map, you click on the marker, and there is a plot or a table or jpeg that s opening?

Here is another example, taken from here and a little bit adapted. When you click on a marker, the table below will change accordingly.
Apart from that, a good resource is this manual here:
https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/shiny.html
library(leaflet)
library(shiny)
myData <- data.frame(
lat = c(54.406486, 53.406486),
lng = c(-2.925284, -1.925284),
id = c(1,2)
)
ui <- fluidPage(
leafletOutput("map"),
p(),
tableOutput("myTable")
)
server <- shinyServer(function(input, output) {
data <- reactiveValues(clickedMarker=NULL)
# produce the basic leaflet map with single marker
output$map <- renderLeaflet(
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("CartoDB.Positron") %>%
addCircleMarkers(lat = myData$lat, lng = myData$lng, layerId = myData$id)
)
# observe the marker click info and print to console when it is changed.
observeEvent(input$map_marker_click,{
print("observed map_marker_click")
data$clickedMarker <- input$map_marker_click
print(data$clickedMarker)
output$myTable <- renderTable({
return(
subset(myData,id == data$clickedMarker$id)
)
})
})
})
shinyApp(ui, server)

There is a leaflet example file here:
https://github.com/rstudio/shiny-examples/blob/ca20e6b3a6be9d5e75cfb2fcba12dd02384d49e3/063-superzip-example/server.R
# When map is clicked, show a popup with city info
observe({
leafletProxy("map") %>% clearPopups()
event <- input$map_shape_click
if (is.null(event))
return()
isolate({
showZipcodePopup(event$id, event$lat, event$lng)
})
})
Online demo (see what happens when you click on a bubble):
http://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/superzip-example.html
On the client side, whenever a click on a marker takes place, JavaScript takes this event and communicates with the Shiny server-side which can handle it as input$map_shape_click.
